1 ½ cup water (350 ml)
½cup+2tbsplow-fatmilk(200ml)

Preparationtime:25min.
Restingtime:2hours.
Place the water and milk on low heat to
warm. Dilute the yeast in two tablespoons of
warm water. In a mixing bowl, mix the se-
molina, flour, sugar and salt. Beat the eggs
for 30 seconds with a whisk, add the dilut-
ed yeast, then the warmed water and milk.
Gradually add this mixture to the flour. Whip
for a few minutes to obtain a thick, creamy
batter. Cover with a cloth and leave to rise
for 2 hours in a warm place.
Cooking: Thermostat 5-7
Grease the griddle with a cotton cloth lightly
moistened with oil. Pour about
2
/
3 of a ladle
of batter and gently spread with the base of
the ladle so that you form a beghrir 5 in (12
cm) in diameter. You can make 3 beghrirs at
a time. Leave to cook for approximately 2 mi-
nutes, a lot of little holes will form. When the
beghrirs are cooked, do not turn them over,
but place them on a cookie sheet, smooth
side down in a single layer.
Light and melt-in-the-mouth, beghrirs are ea-
ten hot. Spread every other beghrir with mel-
ted butter and pile them up on a plate. On
the last one, pour honey. When you serve
them, each individual can add honey and
sugar to his beghrir.
Suggestions for fillings: Eaten hot, be-
ghrirs can also be spread with grated coco-
nut, jam.
